What is The American View?

Briefly stated: “There is a God, our rights come from him and the purpose of civil government is to protect our God-given rights.” We believe that fidelity to this American View is crucial to the preservation of Liberty.
The Biblical, Christian worldview of our forefathers shaped the documents which established the rule of law for the United States of America.
